yfollowing claim.

I claim:

A joiner guard comprising a base member,

adapted to bemounted on a joiner, an inter mediate member journaled member, an arm having oneend pivoted on said vintern'iediate member on an axis substanto` said Journal axis, a

compression spring interposed between said rigid projection andsaid arm for normally on said base mem-iA ber, alri'gid projectionY ony said intermediate urging said arm in one direction of its pivotal Vleft against the action of the compression spring43. As soon as removed. from the joiner, the spring' 431will automatically return the head 44 of the guard fto its normal original position which is` in contact-'or substantially in contact with the to trim the side of a ilat stock is vpushed against .When it is desired piece of stock, the
